Book Description

November 5, 2008 1932672338 978-1932672336
Do you want to publish a children’s book or other full-color book?

This book is for you! Publishing industry insider and CEO Brent Sampson reveals the step-by-step process for publishing a full-color book quickly, conveniently, and affordably. Adventures in Publishing is a “how-to” book written in a unique and charming children’s book style, complete with gorgeous full-color illustrations.

Speaking of illustrations, do you need some? Adventures in Publishing shows you how to add award-winning custom illustrations to your full-color books for less money than you might think, and without having to split royalties with the artist. Custom, full-color illustrations starting at $100 each? It’s possible, and Adventures in Publishing shows you how. If you’ve looked around for illustrations on your own, you already know how amazing that is!

Hi, I'm the author, Brent Sampson. Are you holding a manuscript in your hand that you wish was a published children’s storybook with original, full-color illustrations? Or do you want to publish a full-color cookbook or art book? In any case, if you dream of publishing in full-color, Adventures in Publishing will help you.

As the president and CEO of Outskirts Press, and the published author of a children’s book myself, I have experienced first-hand the frustrations that many authors face when attempting to publish a full-color book. Usually, their dreams stall with either the up-front printing costs or the professional illustrations. Finding talented AND affordable artists is nearly impossible, and many want to split your royalties with you, which costs even more in the long run. I have met other writers whose dreams have expired when they discover the up-front printing costs. Warning: Full-color printing can be EXPENSIVE if you do it wrong. Save yourself from making a $10,000 mistake!

There is a better, faster, more affordable way to experience full-service custom book publishing. If you need full-color original artwork, this book will show you how to find many unique styles to choose from, and you don’t have to worry about sharing your royalties with the artist. Get exactly what you want without having to compromise on quality!

Speaking of quality, Adventures in Publishing serves as an example of the high-quality publishing, printing, binding, and illustrations you will receive when enjoying fast, convenient, and affordable self-publishing services. Yes! Your book can look this good and be available worldwide on Amazon and Barnes & Noble websites (plus many others) for much less than you think.

All the details are inside, along with an instant promotion code to save you over $100(!) when you start your own publishing adventure right away. The coupon saves you 10 times more than the cost of the book! It’s like being paid to buy it. So what are you waiting for? Purchase Adventures in Publishing today and start publishing your full-color book tomorrow.

5.0 out of 5 stars A children's book about publishing a children's book, December 8, 2008
This review is from: Adventures in Publishing: How to Publish Color Children's Books with Original Illustrations, and Other Books in Full-Color for Self-Publishing Writers (Paperback)
Adventures in Publishing is a unique idea. It is a children's book about how to publish a children's book. The verse rhymes, the illustrations are bright, very colorful, and professionally done, and the main character even grows from beginning to end! Sure, children may like the colorful drawings featuring bright-eyed characters, magical castles, rainbows, and alligator-filled swamps, but at the end of the day, this is a "how to" book aimed squarely at adults. If you like test-driving a car before you buy one, this book lets you test drive the concept of being a pulished children's book author by holding an example of a children's book. Great idea!

5.0 out of 5 stars Adventures in Ingenuity, February 3, 2009
This review is from: Adventures in Publishing: How to Publish Color Children's Books with Original Illustrations, and Other Books in Full-Color for Self-Publishing Writers (Paperback)
Chris is right, this isn't a book I'd read to my kids but one I'd recommend every children's book author pick up. In addition to Mr. Sampon's previous work we are truly seeing a comprehensive guide for the self-publishing author. The quality here in terms of concise information and artistic and production quality is simply amazing. Keep up the good work.

5.0 out of 5 stars Clever, Colorful and Captivating, February 3, 2009
This review is from: Adventures in Publishing: How to Publish Color Children's Books with Original Illustrations, and Other Books in Full-Color for Self-Publishing Writers (Paperback)
A fun- to- read guide to self-publishing that instantly captures the attention of children and adult writers with its colorful artwork analogy of the "famous yellow-brick road." The captivating artwork and unique intermingling of fantasy Cindy who takes the journey from beginning to end of publishing with real-life, happy authors who have successfully followed the road is ingenious. I like the forthright and succinct wording, i.e "a deposit gets you me" and "more book for your buck." Makes me want to write a children's book!
